MN homeschool laws

Have you checked out www.homeschoolers.org? This is the Minnesota Homeschoolers' Alliance web page.

It sounds like the school district is definitely out of line in their requests. I am happy to talk with you regarding homeschool law in Minnesota and what you need to submit to the superintendent's office. You can email me directly at bethbalmanno@gmail.com

It does seem as if the superintendent overreacted, but in his defense, it doesn't sound as if the OP actually planned to homeschool; she was just keeping her dc out for the rest of the school year. It's possible that the withdrawal wasn't done as well as it might have been; I'm thinking that since she hadn't planned to homeschool, she didn't do her research before withdrawing her child, but just made some faulty assumptions (even though she asked questions).
